DELL - 0JT2XN - Dell R720/R720XD 2.5 inch 24-Disk HDD backplane

DELL 0JT2XN Backplane for PowerEdge R720/R720XD

The DELL 0JT2XN is a 2.5-inch 24-disk HDD backplane designed for Dell PowerEdge R720 and R720XD systems, enabling the full 24x SFF (2.5-inch) front drive bay configuration. It provides the internal drive connectivity layer between your 2.5-inch hot-swap bays and the server’s storage interface, making it a practical replacement part when restoring or rebuilding dense R720/R720XD storage nodes.

For complete storage integration, this backplane is typically paired with a compatible RAID CONTROLLER or HBA depending on whether you need hardware RAID features or direct-attached pass-through for software-defined storage. When planning a full platform refresh or spare-parts strategy, you can also align this component with other refurbished DELL server parts to keep configurations consistent across your fleet.

Key Features

• Designed for hot-swap drive bay environments to simplify component servicing and reduce downtime during drive/backplane replacement.
• Works with RAID or HBA-based storage topologies to match your preferred data protection or JBOD strategy.
• Enterprise server component build to support 24/7 operation in data centre and server room deployments.
• Ideal as a spare part for break/fix maintenance to help extend the usable lifecycle of PowerEdge R720/R720XD platforms.

Refurbished Quality and Warranty

This unit is refurbished hardware, cleaned and tested by technicians before entering stock to help reduce the risk of hardware defects. Refurbished components are a practical choice for keeping proven server platforms in production, controlling budget versus buying new, and reducing electronic waste.

All refurbished hardware from Direct Hardware Supply includes a one-year warranty from the date of purchase (batteries, tape drives and tape libraries include a three-month warranty). Extended warranty options are available on request, and we ship worldwide from Denmark for fast, predictable sourcing of enterprise spares.

To complete a storage repair or upgrade, consider complementary internal parts such as a matching CONTROLLER for your chosen connectivity and management approach.
